I am wondering if it is possible to execute JavaScript in a browser window using the command prompt in Windows. Is it possible to start chrome and execute a JS file in that new browser window, all from the command prompt?

    It's certainly possible to open a browser to a specific page from the command line... so you could put some JavaScript in an html page and launch a browser so it opens that page. Commented Jan 9, 2013 at 22:47
  • @jahroy I've been trying for over 30 minutes to achieve something like this as a .bat for an answer (anon func takes window.location.search and adds as <script>), but DOS just keeps tripping up over strings. Long story short; write a .html file to do it. Commented Jan 9, 2013 at 22:59

  • You could look at Adobe AIR. Gives you a Webkit wrapper you can write JS for. Commented May 17, 2013 at 5:11

I doubt it.

I just tried this though:

You can put javascript:alert("moo") in the browser's home page url setting, which will run as soon as you open the browser.
